[android-developers] SharedPreferences question

I have a need to store a single value - the year - so that it can be
called from any activity in my app. Shared Preferences seems to be the
easiest but I've got myself coded into a wall and could use a spot of
advice.

I think the problem is in my XML, but I'm not sure. Here's the
pertinent snip of the java. It should be calling the "setyear"
variable from the settings.xml file:

SharedPreferences myPrefs = getSharedPreferences("settings",
MODE_PRIVATE);
final SharedPreferences.Editor prefsEditor = myPrefs.edit();

int checkme = myPrefs.getInt("setyear", 0);
if (checkme < 2011)
{
prefsEditor.putInt("setyear", 2011);
prefsEditor.commit();
}

and the XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
>
<EditTextPreference>
android:key="setyear"
android:defaultValue="2011"
</EditTextPreference>
<EditTextPreference>
android:key="currlist"
android:defaultValue="99"
</EditTextPreference>
</PreferenceScreen>

Suggestions? Did I totally hose myself?

Best, -Larry
